Happy birthday! (Early, I'm guessing it's May 3rd).

In terms of your Birthday Bingo, as you said, there was at least some Obi-Wan sass, so that’s something. Yeah, this is a heavy three-parter. The whole thing of the slave trade and how it hits so close to home for Anakin is very striking to see. I love how it showcases some that part of why Anakin became a Jedi was the desire to help those who are oppressed. And it again demonstrates his greatest fear that he can’t save everyone. Though it doesn’t get as focused on, Ahsoka goes through it as well. These are her people that are being rounded up and being sold into slavery, thus making it very personal for her. You bring up how Obi-Wan likely is stalling for time and is the reason why he got his ass whooped, which is probably to some extent true. It’s also equally as likely that his getting his ass whooped is because they don’t really teach the Jedi extensive physical combat much because it’s “too aggressive” and “not the Jedi way.” When Queen Miraj gives the speech about the Jedi having “forsaken their ideals” that “Every Jedi has become a slave to the Republic” and that “The Jedi Order is weak” all throughout that speech, I’m nodding my head saying “Well... she’s not wrong.” And later, when you fired back by saying “What’s wrong? I thought the Jedi were weak.” I found that I was unable to help myself and I said in response, “No, they are. Doesn’t mean they can’t be impressive when they want to be.” Quite the tight spot the heroes are in by the end of these two episodes. I look forward to seeing your reaction to the conclusion of this arc. Loved the reactions to the first two episodes of this arc.
